...monotonous predictability: Don Gehrmann in front, usually followed by FBI-Man Fred Wilt. Last week at Madison Square Garden the Wanamaker had a new look and a new parade leader: a little (5 ft. 8½ in., 139 Ibs.), will-o'-the-wisp runner named Fred Dwyer, who scoots around a board track with the short, effortless strides of a warm...

But from there on, the crowd kept its eyes on Dwyer, the Villanova University senior who had run the two oldtimers into the ground three times before this season.
